Ideal for service provider small and remote central
offices, these space-saving devices cost-effectively meet the stringent
performance, reliability, and quality of service (QoS) requirements for
delivery of:
Triple-play (voice, video, and data) services
VPN services for Ethernet to the home (ETTH), Ethernet to the business (ETTB), and DSLAM aggregation deployments
The Cisco ME 6524 Ethernet Switch extends advanced MPLS, QoS, Multicast, and IPv6 features into Ethernet access and aggregation networks, enabling scalable and service-rich Gigabit Ethernet access for both fiber and copper deployments.
Highlights
Small form factor and low power consumption: 1.5 rack units and 400 watt device
Robust Multicast for efficient delivery of emerging video services
Integrated security to help mitigate denial-of-service attacks, to restrict access to the service provider network, and to safeguard subscribers’ and network resources
Support for Cisco IOS software modularity to reduce unplanned downtime through fault containment and stateful process restarts and to simplify software changes through subsystem in-service software upgrade (ISSU)
